  “Subject of change and reforms is one of the basic components on which various programs were built since a decade. Successive five-year programs which included administrative, judicial, and financial reforms and other sectors are only a prelude to the content of comprehensive reform which aim to change Algeria’s face in all fields”, Bouteflika added.

 “What is realized today in areas of economic structures and major social, educational, transports, housing, communications, and youth projects, are the result of multidimensional reform that became an urgent necessity to get out of crisis and stalemate”, he explained.
